Dr. Gertrude Boyd Crane was an ordained elder in the Oregon-Idaho Conference. She was a theologian and professor at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon. She was known by her students as a teacher, counselor, and one who helped out financially at critical times in her students’ lives. In her will, she created a scholarship fund for women taking graduate studies toward a profession in the church.

Since 1978 United Methodist Women, now United Women in Faith, has awarded 100 of these scholarships.
